Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic has received a status update ahead of Friday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Currently, the Denver Nuggets (7-3) have four players on the injury report, including Nikola Jokic, for their matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans (3-9) at Smoothie King Center on Friday, November 15 at 8:00 PM ET.

All gone by the wayside with a high-octane Jokic-led Denver offense that emphasizes punishing opposing defenses in every possible way while never giving them a break. At this rate, the NBA’s fourth-ranked scoring offense is downright impossible to gameplan for.

The Nuggets will likely be hard-pressed to acquire a rotation-worthy big man before the trade deadline — Robert Williams III, Jonas Valanciunas and Nikola Vucevic come to mind — unless they’re willing to part with young talent, which could compromise an already tenuous floor-spacing situation.
